Hello,
Been going a bit crazy here trying to install WinXP Pro
SP1 on a new workstation. THe install has been getting
through the first step in which it copies all the files,
then reboots, but as it startes installing devices, I get
the following messages:
"windows could not load the installer for diskdrive.
Contact your hardware vendor"
and
"windows could not load the installer for CDROM. Contact
yout hardware vendor".
If I click OK, and let the install complete, the most
obvious problem is that there are no CD roms recognized by
the PC, with no CD icons in "My Computer".
The drive is a Sony DVD-Burner and has been used for
months in my other PC. Also, this problem started only
yesterday. I actually had installed WInXP successfully,
but when going back to stripe for RAID 0, I screwed
something up and had to reinstall the OS.
Thanks
